Puban, also known as Zhiyi, was the place where Yu Shun built the capital in the ancient Tang Yu era, which was the main road of the Qin and Jin dynasties, and was the political, economic, cultural and military center of the ancient Hedong region.

Puban is located in the southwest of Jinzhou, which is the junction of North China, Northwest and Central Plains, and is the regional center of the "Golden Triangle of the Yellow River" of Shanxi, Qin and Henan.

During the opening of the Sui Dynasty, Puzhou was set up here, and Hedong County was not placed. In the second year of Daye, Hedong County and Pusaka were merged, and the following year the state was changed to a county, which belonged to Hedong County.

"Zuo Chuan" once recorded: In 625 B.C., "Qin Bo cut the Jin, and the Jihe River burned the boat", and immediately took the road here. This place is located in the traffic artery, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, where the Qin and Jin Dynasty military affairs, often from Pujin, for the battle to defend the place.

In the first year of the great cause, when Emperor Yang of Sui had just succeeded to the throne, Yang Liang, the governor of the state and the king of Han, raised troops in Taiyuan to rebel, and sent his subordinates to select capable people from the Worm Tianbao, disguised as women, and opened the Puban City Gate, flew to seize the Pujin Pass, and opened the throat road to the Guanzhong. However, due to Yang Liang's short-sightedness, he gave up this good opportunity to take Daxing without gathering the soldiers in the pass, but only burned the river bridge, and sent Wang Danzi to lead tens of thousands of people to defend with Worm Tianbao.

Subsequently, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty appointed Shangshu Zuo Servant and Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, as the head of the march of the Bingzhou Road and the pacification ambassador of Hebei, and led more than 100,000 soldiers from Fanshang and Guanzhong to quell the rebellion. And Yang Su's first battle was also to take Pujin Pass and recapture Puban City.

At that time, Yang Su personally led 5,000 light cavalry to sneak attack overnight, first concealed in Weikou, and quietly crossed the river by boat at night. At dawn, Yang Su launched an attack, the sneak attack on the rebels was successful, the worm Tianbao was defeated and fled, the Pujin Pass was lost, and Wang Danzi opened Puban City and surrendered because he was afraid. As a result, the soldiers of the Guanzhong Prefecture were able to officially enter the state to quell the rebellion.

Therefore, the geographical location of Kasaka is very important, and whoever holds Kasaka has the initiative.

At this time, as the Li Tang regime gradually settled down in Guanzhong, Pusaka also became a thorn in the heart of the Li Tang regime, a thorn in the flesh, and led troops to attack many times, all in vain.

The story begins here, at the head of Pusaka City, Yao Junsu, who was dressed in a somewhat shabby general armor, leaned on the battlements with one hand, and looked solemnly at the Tang Army, which could not be seen outside the city, and the black pressure was connected, like a dense dark cloud in the sky shrouded his heart, lingering.

At this time, the county of Hedong County has been surrounded by tens of thousands of Tang troops, and Yao Junsu, who has only a few thousand troops, is trapped in the isolated city, and it is extremely difficult to break through, as for reinforcements, it is even more impossible!

He had complained to the eastern capital several times, and ordered someone to build a wooden goose, wrote the urgent documents and analysis of the situation, tied it to the neck of the wooden goose, and let it drift down the Yellow River, which was picked up by the Heyang guards and delivered to the eastern capital. However, in the face of Li Mi's fierce rival, the Eastern Capital was still difficult to protect, and how could he have the spare strength to rush to the aid of Pusaka, so Yang Tong had no choice but to write a letter of condolence in person, send a messenger to Yao Junsu, and award him the title of Doctor of Golden Purple Guanglu (from the second grade). (The famous Sui general Zhang Xutuo died in battle, and Yang Guang only gave a golden purple Guanglu doctor)

"Knock knock~!"

After a burst of rapid drums in the Tang army, a general with a robe and a beard fluttering rode a high-headed horse, under the protection of a group of generals, came to the city of Puban, and shouted at Yao Junsu: "Junsu, you listen to me, the strength of the Great Sui is exhausted, you don't want to trap the beast and burn the jade!" Think about your mother and wife at home, as long as you surrender and stay for use, you will be able to make contributions and serve the country in the future! Don't be stubborn! ”

Yao Jun Su looked at the former chief, the former Sui Court Zuo Xiaowei General, now the pseudo-Tang Dynasty Soldier Shangshu, Qu Tutong, who was awarded the title of Jiang Guogong, accidentally sighed, he swallowed his saliva, and said: "General, Jun Su has made up his mind, you don't need to persuade anymore!" Your unfulfilled loyalty, Jun Su will definitely stick to the end! ”

Seeing this, Li Yuan's son-in-law, Zhao Cijing, the squire of the military department and the prince of Kaihua County, said loudly: "Yao Junsu, don't be obsessed!" Think of your family, think of your subordinates, their lives and deaths depend on your whims! I promise, as long as you open the door and surrender, our Tang Army will never disturb the neighbors and kill innocents, and I, Zhao Cijing, guarantee your life safety! ”

Hearing this, Yao Junsu flatly refused: "Want to take Pusaka City? Unless I die! Otherwise, it is impossible! ”

Qu Tutong couldn't bear it, and persuaded again: "Jun Su, you just listen to me!" Your current struggle is completely meaningless, Hedong County has been taken by our Tang Army, Dongdu is now taking care of itself, the Holy Lord is still drunk in Jiangdu, drunk and dreaming of death, no one will come to rescue you! Even the saint doesn't care about the country, you sacrifice yourself for him to cling to it, is it worth it!? ”

Yao Junsu shook his head and said: "As the general of the imperial court, I am left behind in Hedong, and I have the responsibility of defending the city and consolidating the land!" Guarding Puban City is the mission and obligation given to me by the imperial court, and the position of guarding Hedong is still arranged by the general himself, and I have sworn to be loyal to the Great Sui and fulfill the responsibility of guarding the land! Now, do you want me to break my vow!? ”

Qu Tutong's face was a little red, but he still quibbled to himself: "Jun Su, now that the world is in turmoil, and the flames of war are burning everywhere, the Tang King just can't bear to be so corrupted, coupled with the slander of the villain, and the petition of the people, so he has to raise troops into Beijing to clear the king's side!" The king of Tang is the temporary regent in place of the king, in order to revitalize the dynasty and return the people of the world to peace, so he has to make this decision! But we are still Sui ministers, you surrendered to the Tang King, you are still loyal to the Great Sui, and you have not broken the original oath! ”

Hearing this, Yao Junsu raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Shut up!" Qu Tutong, as a general of the imperial court, you don't want to be loyal to the imperial court, just sit back and watch Xijing fall into the hands of thieves, you don't give up your life to become benevolent, but also covet power and stoop to serve thieves! Even the sweaty horse under your crotch now is a gift from His Royal Highness the Acting King, what face do you have to persuade me to surrender!? What face do you have to face His Royal Highness!? And what face do you have to face the Holy One!? ”

Yao Junsu's words are like a sharp knife, poking every sentence on Qu Tutong's heart, and every word is heart-wrenching!

Qu Tutong was so accused by Yao Junsu that he was speechless, so he had to say embarrassedly: "I also tried my best。。。。。。 ”

Yao Junsu shouted: "Even if the situation reaches this position, we still have the strength to fight, and our strength is still not exhausted!" Qu Tutong, don't say it again, let's each be our own master, and see the truth under our hands! ”

Speaking of this, Qu Tutong no longer had the shame to face his former subordinate, and retreated in shame.
